Opinions wanted about parent dating and kids

05/07/10 08:45 AM

Short Q: When do you introduce a SO to the kids?

Background: I'm divorced 1.4 yrs, separated 2 yrs. A few weeks after I moved out, my then-husband started he brought his gf into my kids lives. Kinda weird coz they all knew her as MY friend.

About 3 months after the divorce was final (9 months post separation), I introduced my kids to my new bf. We dated a year. I broke up with him.

I've been dating a new guy for 2 months. My kids were DYING to meet him for some reason.

I don't plan on remarrying. My kids stated they don't need a step-dad. I'm just looking for a long term companion for now. My kids understand this.

So I made dinner and the kids and bf and I had a great time getting to know one another.

My ex has a huge issue with this and told the kids that "Mom should not be parading all her boyfriends over to you".

Seriously? It's the second guy in over a year. To ex's credit, he is still with the same slut-uh, I mean, money-hungry, um...girl that he began sleeping with before I ever moved out.

I probably wouldn't have had the kids meet the new bf yet as there really was no reason to (as in a party or event to attend together) but they were bugging me to meet him for weeks!

What do you think?
